The Fresno State athletic department let something slip past them two weeks ago as they announced the new swimming and diving coach and the creation of a new aquatics facility. Fresno State desperately needs a new aquatics facility, one of the reasons that the athletics department hired Jeanne Fleck to head up the program. Fleck built a state-of-the-art facility at Ohio State, where she was head coach of the Ohio State program for nine years. (more...)

25 hours in New Mexico. 44 hours total. 1 NCAA tournament appearance for the Fresno State women’s basketball team. Friday 9:38 a.m. Juan and I hop on a flight out of Fresno, headed to Phoenix.
